Belarus vs Syria Prediction 5 June 2026
π While the Belarus national team technically aren't under official sanctions, they've long been forced to play their competitive fixtures on neutral ground, outside their home country, and behind closed doors. Friendlies, however, are a different story. Syria are set to travel to Minsk, and both sides should be able to put on an entertaining display. Hereβs our prediction for this matchup.
Head-to-Head
π In 2022, the sides met just once in a head-to-head clash, with the Belarusians claiming a 1-0 victory.

The day Belarus feature at a major tournament is still yet to come. The national team finished only fourth in their World Cup qualifying group, failing to register a single win in six matches. Now, they are entering a new phase of preparation-this time, gearing up for the UEFA Nations League. In March, Belarus played two friendlies, securing victories over Cyprus (1-0) and Armenia (2-1).

β Editorβs Prediction
Home advantage will play a crucial role here. Belarus rarely get the chance to perform in front of their own fans, so the support should be electric. On top of that, Belarus operate on a different level and regularly face stronger opposition. Syria are a resilient side, but they might lack the individual quality needed to compete here. Our pick: Belarus to win. Predicted scoreline: 2-0.
